History
Pwllhalog smithy appears to post-date the descent of Pwlhallog from gentry to farm status at the end of the C18.
Exterior
An informal range of low buildings at the south side of the approach to Pwllhalog. The smithy and an open-fronted shed are to the right, with a sheeted roof on original timber purlins; to the left are three open-fronted stalls with slated roof. The stonework is the local axe-dressed limestone.
Interior
The hearth, bellows, and a smoke hood above the hearth remain in the smithy.
Reason for designation
An unusual surviving example of a farmyard smithy.
